Vin
Positive measuring input with reference to 0V.
Range from 0 to 1V d.c.
SAFETY
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed 60Vdc. The user must
ensure that the incorporation of the unit into the user’s equipment conforms to the relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements
for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and Laboratory Use).

SCALING
Two external resistors may be used to alter the full scale
reading of the meter - see table for sample values.
Alternatively, use the following formulae to calculate Ra
and Rb. Select the nearest available standard resistor. To
achieve optimum accuracy, use 1% metal film resistors.
